Ina Fairport Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 A Dutch historical vessel, the Schokker. Build by the René Marine shipyard Notice the wooden "swords" at each side. The boat has a flat bottom and no keel Very usefull on shallow tidal water. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen these boats on the Veerse Meer in Zeeland and they are really nice.~ Talking about flat bottomed boats, they have one that takes you to the isle of Lundy, from Ilfracombe. I must have great sea legs as I have never suffered from sea sickness. This wasn't the same for nearly 100% of the other people on the boat. After a half hour of drinking and eating, I have never seen so many people throwing up. It was, without exaggeration, really difficult to find a spot on the boat where someone was not losing their lunch. I had to stand in front of one of those ship cowlings in the end. Also, went on one of those long motorboats to see Puffins, off the Cornish coast, after a while they had to pass the sick bucket around to everyone, except me, I just passed it on. I should have, years ago, got a maritime job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

René Underby is the builder and her SL (RL?) partner is the scripter They don't have a shop anymore and the last login of René was January 2022 There is still a Marketplace shop but no Schokker there : https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/38508 There is a Tjalk, also a flat bottom ship but it looks very basic. I don't know that one I will IM René if the Schokker is still available and hopefully she still reads IM. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ina Fairport Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 My latest buy. The Sjogin sailboat. Build after the RL Sjogin A classic wooden workboat. Very usefull as a daytrip mini cruiser or even a weekendcruiser when the weather is fine The boat sails fine and pretty realistic as well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am from Pimlico, London, right by the Thames. When I was a kid we used to play on the Thames and it's banks. We were young and stupid. Used to watch the tug boats and coal barges all afternoon from our balcony. Been going to Cornwall for holidays for years. We are off to Padstow this year. We live in Eindhoven and as my Dutch wife says, it is the most boring city in The Netherlands. We would move to Cornwall in a heartbeat if we had the means. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
